Today marks the halfway point on the ten day challenge. So how am I doing? Well I've done 5 out of 10 so I'd say pretty good!
I planted my sweet pea seeds in a strawberry pot on the porch. There's a metal post there that I want them to grow up and man have they taken off!

Personally I love that dog hair dangling off the plants to the left *eyeroll* - the dog got a haircut
and a bath yesterday for this reason. Hey and those weren't even on my list! What an overachiever. ;)
Another of my tasks was to "rescue my herb garden." Rescue it from vetch and oregano gone wild! I like full gardens but this was ridiculous! My lavender was getting choked out, and you could hardly tell where one herb ended and another began.


I added some square bricks to use as stepping stones when I need fresh herbs but I've watered the garden. I also added a little statuary just for fun. :)
Below is just one of the piles I took out of there. There were so. many. weeds.

I've also done my Mad Tea Party post which was the last post written. I organized my photos (more on that later) and I turned my desk into my craft station instead of "pile it here if you don't know what to do with it." - I'll show photos of that when the challenge is complete.
How are you doing with your tasks?
Looks good, Molly! I love sweet peas! I wouldn't even have notice the doggy hair. ;) Today I helped to spread bark dust, bought some flowers to plant, painted some more trim in my house, baked a cake and did some laundry. What a full day!
ReplyDeleteUHG, weeds! But making the bed beautiful is what it is all about. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI need you to come over and help me! My yard looks like disaster and you have a mighty fine green thumb. :) Everything looks great!
ReplyDeleteUGH..we weeded our garden this weekend too. That's is the worst part of having a garden! Off to read your last post!!
ReplyDeleteWeeds, weeds, weeds and more weeds is what I have around here these days.. Maybe after I complete the 10 in 10 I will get started on cleaning out my gardens .. Great job!

Wow, you did a lot of weeding! I would have quit after about 2 minutes...which is why I don't have a garden, I just have a dead plant in my dining room window.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the rest of what you've done!
I love your beautiful herb garden. Color me green with envy.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting the 10 in ten partially tackled.
